Yep, that's what happens when someone says "Hey, I wonder what happens if I put a penny, stacked on top of a quarter, onto train tracks?". The slightly oval shape is very typical of railroaded coins.
And technically, it's not even worth 25 cents any more. Since it can no longer pass a mechanical coin counter, it is classified as "mutilated" by the government, and thus is no longer legal tender. You might be able to find some artistic type who "thinks a smashed coin looks cool", but that's a question for art appreciators, not coin collectors.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
